Aug. 26, 1999, Ottawa, ON: Health Canada, Canada's health care bureaucracy, will offer $7.5 million over the next five years to evaluate the medicinal use of marijuana. 
Besides determining if marijuana smoking is an effective therapy for a number of illnesses, researchers will also look into other methods of administering marijuana, such as with inhalers.   In June, Canadian officials granted two individuals with AIDS authority to legally cultivate, possess, and use marijuana for medicinal purposes.   The government-approved study will be conducted by The Medical Marijuana Research Project which is a joint effort between the Medical Research Council of Canada and the therapeutic products program of Health Canada. http://www.norml.org/news/index.shtml#story1Ottawa To Examine Gains Of Getting High - 8/21/99http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread2570.shtmlHousehold Survey Indicate Slight Decline In MJ Use-8/20/99http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread2564.shtml
